Description

Passive Infrared Sensor Market Size:

The passive infrared sensor market is expected to grow from USD 827.078 million in 2025 to USD 1,548.095 million in 2030, at a CAGR of 13.36%.

A passive infrared sensor is an electronic sensor that uses infrared radiation for motion detection. The such instrument finds high applicability in security alarms, motion detectors, and automatic lighting applications. The growing scale of residential dwellings coupled with the increase in house burglary incidences is some of the major factors driving the demand for passive infrared sensors for motion detectors application. Furthermore, in industrial security systems, a passive infrared sensor is used for surveillance tracking. The growing investments in security applications are also boosting the demand for such instruments., thereby stimulating their market growth.

Passive Infrared Sensor Market Segmentation Analysis:

  • Based on application, the passive infrared market is segmented into commercial, residential, and others.

Primarily used as motion detection equipment, passive infrared sensors have many uses both commercially as well as residentially. In most supermarkets and other retail locations and offices, automatic doors are controlled with the help of these motion detectors that rely on PIR sensor data for input. which were controlled by weight-sensitive pads that did not always perform reliably. Owing to their simple design and construction, these sensors are able to detect and report motion consistently and instantly, and are also easily calibrated to overlook smaller moving objects like cats, dogs, and other pets in order to provide customizability and prevent false alarms. Using infrared motion detection technology in outdoor security is another ideal application. They don’t require much power and are easily powered via solar energy. Motion-sensitive lights aid in conserving energy and mitigating light pollution. Some of the products available in the market include IS3000 and DT8000 motion detectors by Honeywell International that can be used for security purposes in residential areas and automated door openers by Olide Autodoor for use in commercial sites.

The growing incidence of home burglaries is expected to boost the demand for passive infrared sensors. Passive infrared sensors’ ability to detect infrared radiations coming from the human body in the surrounding environment makes it an important component to be used in motion detectors which are highly applied in residential units for security purposes. Over the years home burglaries incidences have shown a significant increase owing to the growing need for money and finding easy ways for satisfying social needs. For instance, according to the data issued by the Office of National Statistics, the number of home burglaries reported for the year ending March 2022, in Wales and England stood at 192,060 representing an average of 526 burglaries taking place in a day. Moreover, according to the Delhi Police data, in the first six months of 2022, the number of house theft incidents reported in Delhi stood at 7,561 which showed a significant rise of 553% in comparison to 2021 for the corresponding period. Furthermore, according to the Western Australia Police Force’s Data, in 2021-2022, the number of dwelling burglary cases reported stood at 15,552 showing an increase of 5.7% in over 14,701 cases reported in 2020-2021. With such an increase in the cases of home burglary the demand for motion sensors for detecting unwanted activities in residential units will also increase, thereby simultaneously boosting the demand for passive infrared sensors.
